SoyCD; Fixed Limit is Fun

Since I feel kind of left out without an actual blog in our forum section, I have also decided to create one here. Not only for cross posting entries from the RaisyDaisy & GiBlog (in which I will talk about both Poker & general things going on in Gibraltar) but also for the more mundane updates as well as to answer questions.

About myself: I'm SoyCD and CM of the English Community. Find out more in my Community Profile

I dont get why the pokerstrategy blog section is soo far away from the rest of us in the first place to be honest...

Wouldnt having them as sticky's in the much looked over blog section of the furoms be a better idea?

Ya we definitely need a better way of promoting our blogs, which is also why they now appear on the blog ticker on the home page. Not sure if there will be a better way of integrating them into the new forum - but we will try to promote them more in the future.

Badugggggiiii!

I have actually been getting into Badugi Mathematics lately and could theoretically work on some articles on it if there was demand.

On today's play - I once again played a short session on CakePoker where I am still clearing the $500 bonus (more on that in future RaisyDaisy posts) and had RobbieV (our Dutch admin) looking over my shoulder and commenting. Was quite interesting Session (although I was break even due to some funky beats and villan 'hero calls') especially due to the hugh amount of limp calling + limp folding on the NL50 tables there.

Sadly there its not possible to use a tracker on Cake so I can't present much in terms of graphs or stats but I will look through hand histories for reports of future sessions.

Soooo... yesterday I played in the BOTD and busted with QQ vs AA. I was actually thinking about folding - as in seriously thinking about folding QQ there as his line was simply so fishy. Minraise preflop from MP and push over my raise... I called after announcing in IRC he had aces, and well he had aces and I busted. Go figure

With the rest of the team also running quite badly (well aside from Grimzor who was actually 5th best English/Spanish BOTD player) - so our grand ultimative crushing of the Spanish community will have to wait until next week (where they also plan on interviewing me on their radio o_O)

To my defence I have been working on getting stuff to write about and started a $5 --> FL Highstakes challenge in which I am learning Fixed Limit. My plan is to crush 0,50/1 to a degree that will allow me to move up to $1/$2 -> $5/$10

My current graph is like a steep way up - followed by a long slide downwards. I really need to find and fix my postflop leaks and refine my strategy.

The thing I have noticed though is that my biggest winning sessions were always 1-4 tabling and all of my losing sessions 6-10 tabling. I should probably reduce the tables - despite my goal of getting Elite status on Mansion. I think I will post some of my hands in this blog soon
